Abstract

Depart approached aspects of the theme of light and water from the perspective of the real and impressionistic, and interpreted the theme poetically as inspired by extracts from Jimmy Liao's Love in the Cards (2008), and created associations beyond the text. The author utilized and transformed the languages and understandings of the physical bodies of the dancers drawing on their different backgrounds to exchange concepts and impressions of 'depart' expressed through atmosphere, space, props and movements.
